- Complete pre-operative medical evaluation, including blood tests and possibly an ECG.
- Detailed discussion with the surgeon about the procedure's goals, risks, and alternatives.
- Fasting for 6-8 hours before the surgery as instructed.
- Adjustment or temporary cessation of certain medications (e.g., blood thinners) as advised by the doctor.
- Arranging for transportation and post-operative support at home for the initial recovery days.
- Bowel preparation may sometimes be required to improve surgical visibility.
Risks & possible complications
- General risks of anesthesia and surgery.
- Bleeding, infection, or injury to nearby organs (bladder, intestines, blood vessels, ureters).
- Formation of new scar tissue (adhesions) after surgery.
- Rare risk of nerve damage or chronic post-surgical pain.
- Potential for incomplete removal of endometriosis, leading to symptom recurrence.
- In very rare cases, conversion to an open abdominal procedure (laparotomy) may be necessary.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Hospital stay is typically short, often same-day discharge or 1-night observation.
- Manage post-operative pain with prescribed medications.
- Rest for the first few days, with gradual increase in light activity. Avoid heavy lifting for 2-4 weeks.
- Care for small incision sites to prevent infection.

Pooja Davis, a 32-year-old high school...
Pooja Davis, a 32-year-old high school teacher, had always struggled with painful periods, but over the past two years, the pain became debilitating. It was no longer confined to her cycle; she experienced chronic pelvic pain, pain during intercourse, and severe fatigue. Her dream of starting a family felt increasingly out of reach after a year of unsuccessful trying. After multiple dismissals of her pain as 'bad cramps,' she was referred to a gynaecologist. An ultrasound revealed a likely endometrioma on her ovary. The doctor recommended a diagnostic laparoscopy with excision surgery to confirm and remove the endometriosis lesions. Pooja was terrified of surgery but desperate for answers and relief. The procedure confirmed Stage III endometriosis, which was meticulously excised. Her recovery was challenging for the first week, but by week three, the constant background pain she had lived with was gone. Six months post-op, her cyclical pain is dramatically reduced, and she and her husband have renewed hope for conception. Emotionally, she moved from feeling broken and dismissed to validated and empowered, finally having a name for her struggle and a path forward.
